TRTools provides a Python library and command-line tools for filtering, merging, and quality control of tandem repeat genotype files, with compatibility across TR genotypers.

This study identifies de novo tandem repeat mutations in ASD probands and shows they are more prevalent, larger, and evolutionarily deleterious compared to unaffected siblings.

The paper identifies over 28,000 STRs associated with gene expression across 17 tissues and links them to complex traits like height and schizophrenia.

This paper introduces GangSTR, a tool for genome-wide profiling of tandem repeat expansions, showing it outperforms existing methods and identifies novel expansions in a healthy population.
